• Passive subdural drainage is the current Danish standard and the control intervention in SUPERDURA. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
• The control intervention places a soft silicone Spiral Drain through the burr hole into the subdural cavity. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
• The passive subdural drain is connected to a soft collection bag fixed above the collar bone. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
• Subdural drains are debated because they are placed close to the brain and may cause injury, bleeding, seizures, or infection. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
• Prior indirect evidence reported higher recurrence with passive drainage than active subperiosteal drainage. — Active subperiosteal versus passive subdural 24-hour drainage following single burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural haematoma (the SUPERDURA trial): protocol for a multicentre, randomised non-inferiority trial
